On January 14, 2009, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (the "Company") announced that it expects to be required under generally accepted accounting principals to fully impair its equity investment in Anglesey Aluminium Metal Ltd. ("Anglesey") in its fourth quarter 2008 results. As set forth in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, the Company expects Anglesey, jointly owned by the Company and Rio Tinto Alcan ("Rio Tinto"), to fully curtail its smelting operations at the end of September 2009 when its current power contract expires. Anglesey has worked intensively with United Kingdom government authorities and agencies to find a sustainable alternative to the power supply needs of the smelter but has been unable to reach a feasible solution. In addition, Anglesey is obligated to contribute to the Rio Tinto pension plan in which Anglesey participates, make certain redundancy payments and is potentially exposed to higher pension contributions following recent declines in the value of the assets held by the Rio Tinto pension plan. As a result of Anglesey’s inability to obtain affordable power for its smelting operations after September 2009, the resulting expected curtailment of smelting operations, the growing uncertainty with respect to the future of Anglesey’s operations, and Anglesey’s cash requirements, the Company expects to fully impair its 49% equity investment in Anglesey in its fourth quarter 2008 results. The Company’s investment in Anglesey was $37.6 million as of September 30, 2008, and, after recognition of Anglesey’s fourth quarter results, the full impairment charge is expected to be $37.8 million, subject to the final review by the Company’s independent registered public accountants. Neither the curtailment of the smelting operations nor the related impairment is expected to require the Company to make future cash investments in Anglesey. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. 99.1 - Press Release dated January 14, 2009. Top of the Form SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. Kaiser Aluminum Corporation January 14, 2009 By: /s/ John M. Donnan Name: John M. Donnan Title: Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel Top of the Form Exhibit Index Exhibit No. Description 99.1 Press Release dated January 14, 2009. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kaiser Aluminum Announces Anticipated Shut-down of Anglesey Smelter Operations in September 2009 and Resulting Impairment FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. – January 14, 2009 – Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:KALU) today announced that it expects Anglesey Aluminium Metal (“Anglesey”), jointly owned by Kaiser and Rio Tinto Alcan, to fully curtail its smelting operations at the end of September 2009 when its current power contract expires. As the Company has previously discussed, Anglesey has worked intensively with U.K. government authorities and agencies to find a sustainable alternative to the power supply needs of the smelter, but has been unable to reach a feasible solution. In light of the expected curtailment, the Company believes it is appropriate to fully impair the asset at this time. In the interim, Anglesey will continue to pursue alternative sources of affordable power; however, no sources have been identified thus far that would enable the uninterrupted continuation of smelting operations. In addition, Anglesey will evaluate alternative operating activities in line with the needs of the local community and market opportunities, including the potential continuation of remelt and casting operations and the production of anodes for use by other smelting facilities. It will also work with partners, stakeholders and the community to further support the development of economic activities in the area. The Company expects to fully impair its 49% equity investment in Anglesey in its 2008 fourth quarter results, taking into account Anglesey’s inability to obtain affordable power, the resulting expected curtailment of smelting operations and the growing uncertainty with respect to the future of Anglesey’s operations. The Company does not expect to recognize current or future operating results from Anglesey unless it can determine those results will be recoverable. Kaiser Aluminum’s investment in Anglesey was $37.6 million as of September 30, 2008. Neither the curtailment of smelting operations nor the related impairment is expected to require the Company to make future cash investments in Anglesey. Kaiser Aluminum, headquartered in Foothill Ranch, Calif., is a leading producer of fabricated aluminum products, serving customers worldwide with highly-engineered solutions for aerospace and high-strength, general engineering, and custom automotive and industrial applications. The company’s North American facilities annually produce more than 500 million pounds of value-added sheet, plate, extrusions, forgings, rod, bar and tube products, adhering to traditions of quality, innovation and service that have been key components of our culture since the company was founded in 1946.

    PAPER Kaiser, Garfield, and Permanente Geoffrey C. Nunes, MD enry J. Kaiser developed an extensive and complex industrial empire. During the con- struction of the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington, he began an association with Sid- ney Garfield, MD, that resulted in the prototype of the modern health maintenance organization. Kaiser Permanente, directed by Garfield, survived a confrontation with Horganized medicine in the postwar years and then expanded rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s. At the same time, an internal struggle for control and responsibility of Kaiser Permanente led to a successful reorganization of its health care system. Today, Kaiser Permanente is Henry Kaiser’s most enduring legacy. Arch Surg. 2002;137:1034-1036 Ted O’Connell is the first president of the thus was able to marry Bess.

    1 HENRY KAISER’S ORPHANS fter thirty - two years at the Kaiser Aluminum plant in Trentwood, rolling molten metal into usable forms, Dave A Carlson envied his father. Making aluminum is one of the hot- test, hardest, and dirtiest jobs in modern America, but Dave ’ s dad had worked at the same mill before modern technology had made the job just a little easier. So why did Dave think that things had been better for his father? Sitting in his union ’ s storefront offi ce, Carlson explained, “ All my father saw were the good days. ” 1 As with many families in Spokane, a gritty factory town in eastern Washington, there had been little question that he ’ d follow his father into the rolling mill located ten miles beyond the city line. The elder Carlson had gone to work at Trentwood in 1946, shortly after the legendary Henry J. Kaiser hadCOPYRIGHTED founded the company, MATERIAL and he retired in 1976, when Kaiser ’ s heirs were still in control. Dave was hired in 1973, so he worked for a succession of new owners, culminating with the fi nancier Charles Hurwitz, who ended up locking out his own employees and bankrupting the company. Increasingly discontented with the new management, Dave became active in the union, even- tually becoming president of Local 338 of the United Steelworkers. 13 cc01.indd01.indd 1133 44/25/08/25/08 22:34:54:34:54 PPMM 14 LOVE THE WORK, HATE THE JOB From 1998 through 2000, negotiations for a new union contract deadlocked, the workers went on strike, and the company refused their offer to return to work.
